Words of troof. Seen too many people say they'd go back to get their masters and never did/do.

I'm one of these people right now. But then again I haven't found a job yet that I am willing to stay at for the long haul. I'm not paying for grad school when a new job may take me out of state or something. Plus the local college to my work, Princeton, doesn't offer a masters in my field of accounting.

You said you love the job? Are there growth opportunities there (ie. move up and make more money)? Then do it. Unless you enjoy studying more, then do that. It's up to you but I'd recommend doing what you love more, that way you'll be happier.

Ok, nevermind, JUST DO IT. (take the job)

Once again, yes I will be attending the local school and graduating.

I love my job, and this new position I am very excited about. I see a lot of upward mobility and even use this career (however long it will last) as a stepping stone for greater things in the future.

Graduating and making $$, win win I think...I hope...

Not that I have any experience to be commenting, but managing a store does not sound like a job of the future. You may be making a lot now, but who else is before you when they start cutting?
Oversaid but true, stay in school, however if its a for-profit and not a 'real' school, having one of those degrees is equivalent to nothing, sorry to be harsh. They are scams, you need to go to a proper school, just because it costs a lot does not make it legit.
If you don't have a good degree, you need legit skills that people will pay for, you can save up the cash now while you have a high paying job but don't think its going to last for ever, much less guarantee you a path up the ladder, unless you know what you're talking about.

Im confused, are you saying USF is not a proper school? Or Rollins is not a proper school? Rollins isn't "for profit" either.

USF is a state school so its proper but I can't really find anything on Rollins except this: (see 2nd last post)http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/...s-clemson.html
I went through admissions 15 yrs ago so I thought I would recognize most of the names.. just never heard this one b4
